California was the first state to adopt no-fault divorce laws, which means that either spouse has the ability to end their marriage without having to prove that the other spouse is at fault for the failure of the marriage. Instead, the spouses can claim that due to irreconcilable differences, the marriage could not be repaired. If you and your spouse are unable to agree on important matters such as property division, alimony, or child custody, you will most likely have to file for a contested divorce. A contested divorce involves going to a family court where a judge makes the important decisions for you. Whether your marriage calls for aggressive litigation in court or peaceful negotiation outside of court, the team is prepared to represent you. If children are involved, the team has the ability to assist you through matters involving child custody, child support, paternity, and visitation.
